N preparing this little volume the author has 
given the Andrews genealogy only so far as it 
relates to his own immediate ancestry. Up to 
the seventh generation this data applies as well 
to all others who come within this same line of 
ancestry. The record of Amos Andrews as a 
Revolutionary soldier (see Notes) gives the re¬ 
quired data that renders all who come within 
this same ancestral line, eligible for admission 
to the “ Association of the Sans (or Daughters) 
of the Revolution.” ..... 

Pains have been taken to have this record as 
complete as possible. Should any errors be dis¬ 
covered the information should be sent to the 
undersigned, the author of this volume, 


Henry L. Andrews.
